Many people say that 13 is an unlucky number. Well I beg to differ and am making a pact with myself and my hubby that 2013 is going to be a lucky year for us. I have decided that positive thinking and positive behavior will lead to positive results!
So, with only weeks left in this year (minding the Mayan calendar is wrong) I am forecasting a great year next year! We will start fresh with everything in our lives including the baby making! Practice has made perfect for us so we are into the execution phase of this project! Wish us luck! Perhaps we will attempt to purchase a house next year as well, in preparation of starting to expand our family. I am throwing my previous plans out the window (love, degree, marriage, house, then baby)
because lets face it....three out of five in a row isn't that bad of a track record. "Life happens when your busy making other plans." We have had the 'plan' and now realize that you cant plan every aspect of your life. Surprises happen. We can only hope for the best things to come our way and be good people in the process.
So this is year three of the bucket list. We continue to do little checks off our list for the things in our area and metropolitan of Los Angeles and the list is dwindling down little by little. If you missed the last two you can see 2012 and 2011 here. I am keeping track of all things Bucket List related in the Lifetime of Memories tab up top! Again this list is mostly comprised of things to do in our general area and is subject to change whenever! Any and all suggestions are welcomed!

Side Note: 2012 has been a year of lessons. Lesson's that we both needed to learn and we have both grown immensely from them. From family, to friends and even our own relationship. I have learned to be patient with those around me. Things may not always go the way I want, so I have learned to let them go their own route and let go of the things that are not important. I have done my grieving, with my fathers death and also with many other losses that I suffered in 2012. I know that difficulties will come still, but in dealing with all the things that life threw my way this year, I am confident that I can handle anything life throws at me later! I have learned to be strong, even when I want to be weak. To love all things with my whole heart, even when they hurt me. On new years eve last year, when the clock struck midnight I cried. I cried for all my sadness; thankful that the year had closed, not knowing what 2012 would have in store for me. I have a feeling that this new years eve I will have the same feelings of sadness, but knowing that the things that happened in 2012 have better prepared me for the rest of my life I think they will be a mixture of sadness and hope. All I can say is bring it on 2013. I am ready!
